Hi!

I am reviewing BSD source code for the UNIX utility, rcp, remote copy.
It is written in C, and contains referencs to kerberos , specifically :

#ifdef KERBEROS
#include <kerberosIV/des.h>
#include <kerberosIV/krb.h>

I am assumming that Kerberos is a protocol that rcp needs to communicate
with other remote host.  However, I don't really have a strong
background on data communications -so i really don't understand what
exactly does kerberos do in this situation.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Janice
